KANSAS is just now enjoying a de-
cided boom, and large amounts of
capital are being invested in all parts
of the state by men who pass directly
across Missouri in order to get there.
And yet in fair comparison, Missouri
surpasses Kansas as to all material
advantages, and offers better natural
inducements to all classes Of investors.
Why, then, does Kansas have prefer
ence? The answer is easy to give. She
is inspired by republican principles
and methods of civilization, whereas

were no property rights involved In the
case and it was no whore stated that If
the exhibition were permitted it would
bring Mrs. August Spies into contempt,

good name was involved, and her good
name was her property, but if Miss
Van Zandt was willing to be married
by proxy she could not con-
sistently object to being exhibited
by proxy, and if her good
name was not involved in the one pro-

ure trotted out again to it's old stand in
